    Actually I think you were quoting someone else.

    My point is simply that stock trends don't exist, period.

    I'm glad for you if you've been banking profits from your stock trades, but
    taking cash to the bank does not prove a thing.

    I bet Funny Cide to show in the Preakness last week. Poor Funny Cide and his
    jockey and owner didn't win the Triple Crown, but as a show better I was
    very happy that Funny Cide finished third. I won in the Preakness even
    though my horse only showed. My win does not however prove that I'm
    discovered a way to win at the ponies. (It is, however, a major statistical
    project of mine. :-)
